It's been a week

-

 We left for Dewey on Tuesday. It's only about 90 minutes away so it was an easy drive. The road to the house though was dirt and I was not expecting that. But we got there and it was a cute little cabin with a nice fenced in yard for Mavy. 

The back and the yard

It had a bbq so we ended up cooking steaks one night and chicken the next. It was nice. They had some really nice touches throughout the place.  

A tiny, tiny bottle of champagne with two tiny glasses and some noise makers. Very cute since we got there New Year's Eve. 

There were tiny bottles of water by the bed and chocolates. They left a note that said don't worry about doing the dishes, they would get them. That's unusual. Most places want you to leave things really clean. 

The view was great too. 

And the stars!!! OMG!!! So, so, so many stars. We bought my telescope but it doesn't work very well or I don't know how to use it very well, one of those. 

Anyway, it was a nice stay except for the heat. We apparently did not know how to operate the heater because every night it got really, really cold. The first night the temp in the cabin dropped down to the 50's. I was freezing when I got up. The second night it only dropped to 65F, still plenty cold. Anyway, it was fun. Nice to get away and relax. I did not take any work so I did not do any work. That was nice. A mental break was definitely much needed. We got home yesterday around 10am. I really didn't do much yesterday either, so I had an extra rest day. 

But today, it is back to it. I kept waking up last night and thinking of things I need to do or want to do, for my business. I am trying to figure out how to fit all the things in I want to do and how it will all work. I guess I could sit and plan and plan and plan, or I could just jump in and do. It will work itself out, I just need to get in there and get my hands dirty. 

So that means, I'm off to start working on things.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...
